Rule 7 allows you to take reasonable actions to fairly search for your ball in play after each stroke. But you must be careful, as a penalty will apply if you act excessively and cause improvement to the conditions affecting your next stroke. You get no penalty if your ball is accidentally moved in trying to find or identify it, but you must then replace the ball on its original spot.
